Emergency Order #3 State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services Tony Evers, Governor Andrea Palm, Secretary EMERGENCY ORDER #3 LIMITING PUBLIC GATHERINGS The State of Wisconsin is in the midst of a deadly, uncontrolled, and exponentially growing spike in cases of COVID-19. The State is the nation's COVID-19 hot spot, and intervening measures are necessary to slow the rampage of illness and death caused by the virus. Without a vaccine, the only tools to slow the spread of COVID-19 are wearing a face covering in public, staying at least six feet away from other people when you leave your home, washing your hands regularly, and staying home as much as possible. Without using these simple but vital life-saving tools, Wisconsin will suffer from unnecessary illness and death. During the first three months of the pandemic (March-May), when Wisconsin's mass gathering bans and Safer at Home orders were in place, Wisconsin experienced a total of 20,000 cases of COVID-19. However, after the Legislature sued to end Safer at Home, which the Wisconsin Supreme Court ended on May 13, 2020, the spread of the virus rapidly accelerated. Wisconsin's next 20,000 cases occurred over six weeks and the subsequent 20,000 occurred in only three weeks. Wisconsin is now a COVID-19 hotspot. It had the third highest number of new cases in the past seven days (17,641 cases), with only California and Texas having more new cases (and 6.8 times and 5 times the population, respectively). Wisconsin is also third in the nation in new cases per 100,000 residents (303 cases per 100,000 residents in the past seven days), with only North Dakota and South Dakota having higher rates. Compared to neighboring states that have statewide mitigation efforts in place, Wisconsin's increase in cases (17,641) over the last 7 days is more than double both Minnesota's increase (7,093 cases) and Michigan's increase (6,878 cases) (New York Times, October 5, 2020). Wisconsin must use all its tools, including keeping people physically apart and wearing face coverings, to slow this dangerous spike. The consequences of failing to act could be devastating and deadly. Because of the time period between infection, diagnosis, and the development of serious symptoms, hospitalizations and deaths lag behind case counts. Wisconsin is now experiencing increases in 1 West Wilson Street • Post Office Box 7850 • Madison, \'v'I 53707-7850 • Telephone 608-266-9622 • www.dhs.wisconsin.gov Protecting and promoting the health and safety of the people of Wisconsin both of these serious indicators because of the steep rise in cases of COVID-19 over the past month. Hospital capacity strains in some parts of the state are at record high levels. The State of Wisconsin is divided into seven healthcare emergency readiness coalition regions (HERC regions), which coordinate how public health, healthcare institutions, and first responder agencies respond to health emergencies and catastrophic events. As of September 29, every HERC region in the state has very high disease activity level (i.e., greater than 350 cases per 100,000 population during the past two weeks). On July 29, 2020, while all of the HERC regions had a high disease activity level (i.e., greater than 100 cases and less than 350 cases per 100,000 population during the past two weeks), none of the HERC regions were experiencing a very high disease burden. This high level of disease activity is now manifesting itself with increased hospitalizations. On September 3rd, there were 293 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in Wisconsin. One month later, on October 3rd, this number had more than doubled to 692 patients across the state and more than quadrupled in the Fox Valley, Northeast, Northwest, Northcentral, and Western regions of the state. Hospital leaders in Green Bay, Appleton, Neenah, and Wausau are reporting ICU's at capacity, transfers of patients to other facilities, and critical staffing shortages. Over the past six months, significant gains have been made in the care for patients with COVID-19; however, despite these gains, the disease continues to take the ultimate toll for too many Wisconsinites. On September 4th, the average number of newly reported deaths among patients with COVID-19 over the past seven days was six. By October 4th, this average had doubled to fourteen. In the first six months of the COVID-19 pandemic, 1,242 deaths were reported across the state. In comparison, during the 2019-2020 influenza season, there were 183 deaths from influenza in our state. Assuming deaths increase at the same rate, COVID-19 would rank as the sixth leading cause of death in Wisconsin in 2020 behind only heart disease, cancer, unintentional injuries, lower respiratory disease, and stroke. While the current death rate for COVID-19 is 1.1 % of all cases, the risk of death increases with age. In Wisconsin, 23% of people in their nineties, 14% of people in their eighties, and 5% of people in their seventies who contract COVID-19 die. The lower overall mortality rate is a reflection of the disproportionate representation of the disease in younger populations where 55% of all Wisconsin COVID-19 cases have been diagnosed in people under age 40 and 92% in people under age 70. 2 For these reasons, I, Andrea Palm, Department of Health Services Secretary­ designee, in fulfilling my constitutional duty under Article I, Section I, as part of the government instituted by the people to secure the rights of all people to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the Laws of this State including Section 252.02(3) of the Wisconsin Statutes, and consistent with Wisconsin Legislature v. Palm, 2020 WI 42, order the following: 1. Definitions. a.

Ticketed events where tickets are available for free or for purchase by any individual or by any individual within a specific class of people. ii. Places that are not open to the public, and therefore are not part of the definition of a public gathering and are not limited by this order, include, but are not limited to: 1. Office spaces, manufacturing plant, and other facilities that are accessible only by employees or other authorized personnel. 2. Invitation-only events that exclude uninvited guests. 3. Private residences. Except, a residence is considered open to the public during an event that allows entrance to any individual; such public gatherings are limited to 10 people. 2.

  • The 2020 Presidential Election: Provisions of the Constitution and U.S. Code
    PREFACE The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is proud to acknowledge its role in the Presidential election pro- cess. NARA’s Office of the Federal Register (OFR) acts as the administrator of the Electoral College and carries out the duties of the Archivist. In this role, the OFR is charged with helping the States carry out their election responsibilities, ensuring the completeness and integrity of the Electoral College documents submitted to Congress, and informing the public about the Presidential election process. The Electoral College system was established under Article II and Amendment 12 of the U.S. Constitution. In each State, the voters choose electors to select the President and Vice President of the United States, based on the results of the Novem- ber general election. Before the general election, the Archivist officially notifies each State’s governor and the Mayor of the District of Columbia of their electoral responsibilities. OFR provides instructions and resources to help the States and District of Columbia carry out those responsibilities. As the results of the popular vote are finalized in each state, election officials create Certificates of Ascertainment, which establish the credentials of their electors, that are sent to OFR. In December, the electors hold meetings in their States to vote for President and Vice President. The electors seal Certificates of Vote and send them to the OFR and Congress. In January, Congress sits in joint session to certify the election of the President and Vice President. In the year after the election, electoral documents are held at the OFR for public viewing, and then transferred to the Archives of the United States for permanent retention and access.

  • Letter of Thanks to Idaho Governor Brad Little
    January 24, 2019 The Honorable Brad Little Governor of Idaho State Capitol 700 West Jefferson Street Boise, ID 83702 Dear Governor Little: The members of the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable (ORR) congratulate you on your election as Governor of Idaho. We look forward to working with you and your administration to ensure that access to and funding for Idaho’s world-class recreation experiences remain an integral part of Idaho’s job growth, tourism, economic well-being and quality of life. The outdoor recreation economy is an essential part of our country’s well-being. According to a 2018 report by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the outdoor recreation economy accounts for 2.2% of the American economy and supports 4.6 million jobs. In Idaho alone, it is responsible for $7.8 billion in consumer spending and 78,000 jobs. Many of these jobs are in rural areas that rely on Idaho’s accessible outdoor infrastructure and healthy wildlife habitats. You said it best in your recent State of the State address—Idaho’s public lands and waters are surely one of the state’s greatest assets. We applaud your commitment to expanding access, improving visitor experiences and addressing threats to Idaho’s outdoor treasures. Ten of your fellow governors across the country—many of them in neighboring Western states— have made similar commitments to grow the outdoor recreation economy and attract outdoor businesses to their states by creating offices of outdoor recreation. We encourage you to do the same, and offer knowledge, experience and support from the entire outdoor recreation industry.

Box 110001 Juneau, AK 99811-0001 April 2, 2020 Dear Governor Dunleavy: First, thank you and the many state agency and department leaders and staff for the massive efforts that you have undertaken to provide leadership and mobilize state resources to confront the COVID-19 pandemic. We write to urge you to use your leadership and vision to take additional steps to protect the welfare of all Alaskans, but especially those with disabilities, during this crisis. As you are aware, adults and children with disabilities are among those at the greatest risk in this crisis because so many are in institutions or incarcerated, homeless, seniors or medically compromised, or dependent on others for care. We also ask you to use your leadership to ensure that people with disabilities will not be disproportionately affected by any loss of services and benefits during the pandemic, protecting everyone in this crisis is the best public policy. As you have recognized, Alaska must ensure that all our citizens have access to a safe living situation, medical care and other resources to weather this crisis. In the context of this pandemic, the undersigned organizations agree and strongly endorse the message that the presence of a disability should not be an indicator for withholding or limiting access to medical care.

L. "Butch" Otter Governor of the State of Idaho State Capitol P.O. Box 83720 Boise, Idaho 83720 Dear Governor Otter: Thank you for the recommendations provided by Toni Hardesty the Director of the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality dated May 16, 2011, on air quality designations for the State of Idaho for the 2010 revision to the primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard for sulfur dioxide (SO2). Reducing levels of sulfur dioxide pollution is an important part of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) commitment to a clean, healthy environment. Exposure to SO2 can cause a range of adverse health effects, including narrowing of the airways which can cause difficulty in breathing and increased asthma symptoms. This letter is to notify you of the EPA's preliminary intentions regarding your recommended designations. On June 3, 2010, the EPA strengthened the health-based or "primary" standard for SO2 by establishing a standard for 1-hour average SO2 concentrations at a level of 75 parts per billion. The Clean Air Act requires the EPA to complete the initial designations process within two years of promulgating a new or revised standard. If the Administrator has insufficient information to make these designations, the EPA has the authority to extend the designation process by up to one year. On July 27, 2012, the EPA announced that it had insufficient information to complete the designations for the 1-hour SO2 standard within two years and extended the designations deadline to June 3, 2013.

  • Georgia Government 1 (PDF)
    Georgia Government Summary Dr. Sarah Kuck and Mr. Roger Marietta Introduction Georgia’s state government was formed in 1776, and since that time the State Constitution has been rewritten 10 times and amended hundreds of times. To amend the Georgia Constitution today, both houses of the Georgia General Assembly must pass the proposed Constitutional amendment by a two-thirds vote. The amendment ratification is voted on by the people in the next general election, and a majority of the voters must approve. Georgia’s state government and its politics have been shaped by its history. 2011 is the sesquicentennial of the beginning of the Civil War. President Lincoln and General Sherman, as hated Republicans, left a simmering anger as the Civil War and slavery came to an end. The Democratic Party dominated Georgia politics until the period after the Civil War known as Reconstruction. Reconstruction brought the freed slaves into the political process as Republicans, and they gained many elected offices from 1865 until 1877. When the Posse Comitatus Act was passed by Congress and Federal troops could no longer enforce state and local laws, the political winds shifted. From 1877 until 1954, “Jim Crow” laws enforced segregation in Georgia while the Democrats dominated the politics of Georgia under the banner of “state rights”. Many Caucasian voters in Georgia were “Yellow Dog” Democrats – they would vote Democrat even if the candidate was a yellow dog. With the Supreme Court’s reversal of Plessy v Ferguson as a result of Brown v Board of Education of Topeka Kansas, coupled with the emergence of Dr.

  • US Senate Vacancies
    U.S. Senate Vacancies: Contemporary Developments and Perspectives Updated April 12, 2018 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44781 Filling U.S. Senate Vacancies: Perspectives and Contemporary Developments Summary United States Senators serve a term of six years. Vacancies occur when an incumbent Senator leaves office prematurely for any reason; they may be caused by death or resignation of the incumbent, by expulsion or declination (refusal to serve), or by refusal of the Senate to seat a Senator-elect or -designate. Aside from the death or resignation of individual Senators, Senate vacancies often occur in connection with a change in presidential administrations, if an incumbent Senator is elected to executive office, or if a newly elected or reelected President nominates an incumbent Senator or Senators to serve in some executive branch position. The election of 2008 was noteworthy in that it led to four Senate vacancies as two Senators, Barack H. Obama of Illinois and Joseph R. Biden of Delaware, were elected President and Vice President, and two additional Senators, Hillary R. Clinton of New York and Ken Salazar of Colorado, were nominated for the positions of Secretaries of State and the Interior, respectively. Following the election of 2016, one vacancy was created by the nomination of Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions as Attorney General. Since that time, one additional vacancy has occurred and one has been announced, for a total of three since February 8, 2017. As noted above, Senator Jeff Sessions resigned from the Senate on February 8, 2017, to take office as Attorney General of the United States.
